This matter is taken up for final hearing through Video-Conferencing
with the consent of all the counsel. - The core question that arises in all these Writ Petitions is the validity
of the Bonds that were extracted from the petitioners or their guardians at the
time of admission into MBBS course in the third respondent college run by the
second respondent viz., The Employees State Insurance Corporation. Since all
the petitioners are similarly placed and their grievances are common, these Writ
Petitions were taken up for hearing together and are disposed of by a common
order.

and 8306, 8438 and 8439 of 2020
Bench:
1) Whether the second respondent Corporation has
the power to incorporate or super add an
additional condition for admitting students, who
are allotted to it for admission under the State
quota.
2) Whether the stipulation requiring the students,
who are allotted under the State quota to execute
a bond, is in violation of Article 14 of the
Constitution of India.
3) Whether the second and third respondents, who
do not offer any concessional fee to the students
could enforce the bonds executed under duress. - I therefore, direct the Registry to place the matter before the Hon’ble
the Chief Justice, for constitution of a Larger Bench for hearing these cases.
